## Building GLFW
|
||||
## Compiling GLFW
|
||||
|
||||
These are the build instructions for the GLFW library itself. For information
|
||||
on how to build programs that use GLFW, see the [Building programs using
|
||||
GLFW](http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/build.html) guide.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
To compile GLFW and the accompanying example programs, you will need **CMake**,
|
||||
which will generate the project files or makefiles for your particular
|
||||
development environment. If you are on a Unix-like system such as Linux or
|
||||
FreeBSD or have a package system like Fink, MacPorts, Cygwin or Homebrew, you
|
||||
can simply install its CMake package. If not, you can get installers for
|
||||
Windows and OS X from the [CMake website](http://www.cmake.org/).
|
||||
|
||||
Additional dependencies are listed below.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Dependencies using Visual C++ on Windows
|
||||
|
||||
The Microsoft Platform SDK that is installed along with Visual C++ contains all
|
||||
the necessary headers, link libraries and tools except for CMake.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Dependencies with MinGW or MinGW-w64 on Windows
|
||||
|
||||
Both the MinGW and the MinGW-w64 packages contain all the necessary headers,
|
||||
link libraries and tools except for CMake.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Dependencies using MinGW or MinGW-w64 cross-compilation
|
||||
|
||||
Both Cygwin and many Linux distributions have MinGW or MinGW-w64 packages. For
|
||||
example, Cygwin has the `mingw64-i686-gcc` and `mingw64-x86_64-gcc` packages
|
||||
for 32- and 64-bit version of MinGW-w64, while Debian GNU/Linux and derivatives
|
||||
like Ubuntu have the `mingw-w64` package for both.
|
||||
|
||||
GLFW has CMake toolchain files in the `CMake/` directory that allow for easy
|
||||
cross-compilation of Windows binaries. To use these files you need to add a
|
||||
special parameter when generating the project files or makefiles:
|
||||
|
||||
cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=<toolchain-file> .
|
||||
|
||||
The exact toolchain file to use depends on the prefix used by the MinGW or
|
||||
MinGW-w64 binaries on your system. You can usually see this in the /usr
|
||||
directory. For example, both the Debian/Ubuntu and Cygwin MinGW-w64 packages
|
||||
have `/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32` for the 64-bit compilers, so the correct
|
||||
invocation would be:
|
||||
|
||||
cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=CMake/x86_64-w64-mingw32.cmake .
|
||||
|
||||
For more details see the article
|
||||
[CMake Cross Compiling](http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/CMake_Cross_Compiling) on
|
||||
the CMake wiki.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Dependencies using Xcode on OS X
|
||||
|
||||
Xcode contains all necessary tools except for CMake. The necessary headers and
|
||||
libraries are included in the core OS frameworks. Xcode can be downloaded from
|
||||
the Mac App Store or from the ADC Member Center.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Dependencies using Linux and X11
|
||||
|
||||
To compile GLFW for X11, you need to have the X11 and OpenGL header packages
|
||||
installed, as well as the basic development tools like GCC and make. For
|
||||
example, on Ubuntu and other distributions based on Debian GNU/Linux, you need
|
||||
to install the `xorg-dev` and `libglu1-mesa-dev` packages. The former pulls in
|
||||
all X.org header packages and the latter pulls in the Mesa OpenGL and GLU
|
||||
packages. GLFW itself doesn't need or use GLU, but some of the examples do.
|
||||
Note that using header files and libraries from Mesa during compilation *will
|
||||
not* tie your binaries to the Mesa implementation of OpenGL.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Generating files with CMake
|
||||
|
||||
Once you have all necessary dependencies it is time to generate the project
|
||||
files or makefiles for your development environment. CMake needs to know two
|
||||
paths for this: the path to the source directory and the target path for the
|
||||
generated files and compiled binaries. If these are the same, it is called an
|
||||
in-tree build, otherwise it is called an out-of-tree build.
|
||||
|
||||
One of several advantages of out-of-tree builds is that you can generate files
|
||||
and compile for different development environments using a single source tree.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Generating files with the CMake command-line tool
|
||||
|
||||
To make an in-tree build, enter the root directory of the GLFW source tree and
|
||||
run CMake. The current directory is used as target path, while the path
|
||||
provided as an argument is used to find the source tree.
|
||||
|
||||
cd <glfw-root-dir>
|
||||
cmake .
|
||||
|
||||
To make an out-of-tree build, make another directory, enter it and run CMake
|
||||
with the (relative or absolute) path to the root of the source tree as an
|
||||
argument.
|
||||
|
||||
cd <glfw-root-dir>
|
||||
mkdir build
|
||||
cd build
|
||||
cmake ..
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Generating files with the CMake GUI
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using the GUI version, choose the root of the GLFW source tree as
|
||||
source location and the same directory or another, empty directory as the
|
||||
destination for binaries. Choose *Configure*, change any options you wish to,
|
||||
*Configure* again to let the changes take effect and then *Generate*.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### CMake options
|
||||
|
||||
The CMake files for GLFW provide a number of options, although not all are
|
||||
available on all supported platforms. Some of these are de facto standards
|
||||
among CMake users and so have no `GLFW_` prefix.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using the GUI version of CMake, these are listed and can be changed
|
||||
from there. If you are using the command-line version, use the `ccmake` tool.
|
||||
Some package systems like Ubuntu and other distributions based on Debian
|
||||
GNU/Linux have this tool in a separate `cmake-curses-gui` package.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Shared CMake options
|
||||
|
||||
`BUILD_SHARED_LIBS` determines whether GLFW is built as a static
|
||||
library or as a DLL / shared library / dynamic library.
|
||||
|
||||
`LIB_SUFFIX` affects where the GLFW shared /dynamic library is
|
||||
installed. If it is empty, it is installed to `$PREFIX/lib`. If it is set to
|
||||
`64`, it is installed to `$PREFIX/lib64`.
|
||||
|
||||
`GLFW_CLIENT_LIBRARY` determines which client API library to use. If set to
|
||||
`opengl` the OpenGL library is used, if set to `glesv1` for the OpenGL ES 1.x
|
||||
library is used, or if set to `glesv2` the OpenGL ES 2.0 library is used. The
|
||||
selected library and its header files must be present on the system for this to
|
||||
work.
|
||||
|
||||
`GLFW_BUILD_EXAMPLES` determines whether the GLFW examples are built
|
||||
along with the library.
|
||||
|
||||
`GLFW_BUILD_TESTS` determines whether the GLFW test programs are
|
||||
built along with the library.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### OS X specific CMake options
|
||||
|
||||
`GLFW_USE_CHDIR` determines whether `glfwInit` changes the current
|
||||
directory of bundled applications to the `Contents/Resources` directory.
|
||||
|
||||
`GLFW_USE_MENUBAR` determines whether the first call to
|
||||
`glfwCreateWindow` sets up a minimal menu bar.
|
||||
|
||||
`GLFW_BUILD_UNIVERSAL` determines whether to build Universal Binaries.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Windows specific CMake options
|
||||
|
||||
`USE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY_DLL` determines whether to use the DLL version or the
|
||||
static library version of the Visual C++ runtime library. If set to `ON`, the
|
||||
DLL version of the Visual C++ library is used. It is recommended to set this to
|
||||
`ON`, as this keeps the executable smaller and benefits from security and bug
|
||||
fix updates of the Visual C++ runtime.
|
||||
|
||||
`GLFW_USE_DWM_SWAP_INTERVAL` determines whether the swap interval is set even
|
||||
when DWM compositing is enabled. If this is `ON`, the swap interval is set even
|
||||
if DWM is enabled. It is recommended to set this to `OFF`, as doing otherwise
|
||||
can lead to severe jitter.
|
||||
|
||||
`GLFW_USE_OPTIMUS_HPG` determines whether to export the `NvOptimusEnablement`
|
||||
symbol, which forces the use of the high-performance GPU on nVidia Optimus
|
||||
systems.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### EGL specific CMake options
|
||||
|
||||
`GLFW_USE_EGL` determines whether to use EGL instead of the platform-specific
|
||||
context creation API. Note that EGL is not yet provided on all supported
|
||||
platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Installing GLFW
|
||||
|
||||
A rudimentary installation target is provided for all supported platforms via
|
||||
CMake. If you are building from the command-line, use the `install` target.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo make install
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using an IDE, run the generated install target from the IDE.
|
||||

|
||||
the GLFW documentation.
